Never satisfied.

During the last American Administration, Republicans wouldn't stop lamenting how the rest of the world was against the US. They used to see anti-Americanism about everywhere. Numerous polls conducted the world around by the Pew Institute for example, showed that a large majority of the world population had a bad image of America.

To tell the truth, it looked like this image had lowered to an historically abysmal level. Globally speaking, the US had something like 25% positive opinions in the world.

Now, Obama has raised that number to about 75% positive opinions within less than a year. Talk of a success in terms of communication and image making.

And guess what? The Republicans aren't satisfied yet!

They lamented when their country was criticized and now they whine because it is praised, but not for the good reasons in their eyes.
